Pride (Tonks gen)

Title: Pride
Length: 90 words
Fandom: Harry Potter
Prompt: [livejournal.com profile] 31_days: 10 May 09 // Too proud to be a queen; Tonks for [livejournal.com profile] starlightfairy2
Pairing: Tonks gen
Other: n/a
Excerpt: It was strange that, even as a Metamorphagus, she never fit her name, of all things.

She was just Tonks. Really. She shouldn't need to correct anyone unless they knew her father; she just looked like a Tonks.

It was strange that, even as a Metamorphagus, she never fit her name, of all things. She didn't seem nymph-like, ever-- Tonks filled a room with presence even when she wasn't trying. She would be an awful Auror if Moody hadn't patiently taught her how to seem inconspicious.

Tonks-- bright, pink, smart, quick-- too proud to be a queen-- was just proud enough to be herself.
